The incident occurred around 4:40 p.m. about a mile south of the jetty. Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue Capt. Tammy Marris said 13-year-old Alexandra Masterson was bodysurfing in waist-deep water when a shark bit her on the calf.

Paramedics arrived, but the girl was taken to a hospital by private vehicle.

The Space Coast also had shark activity Sunday. Brevard County Ocean Rescue ordered beachgoers out of the ocean Sunday afternoon in Melbourne Beach when a shark was observed there.
